Editing R1 and R2 Folders

[pnphappy]

How do I edit the .shp files for the Taiidan and Kushan? I can't even find their R1 and R2 folders. For the Bentusi Mod, the R2 folder is out in the open, but the Kushan and Taiidan ones are non existent no matter where I look.

Thanks.

They're in 'Homeworld.BIG'. You need to extract the files using a tool like SpookyRAT.

Or get Homeworld OEM Edition and save yourself the trouble! :P

ooooh, I guess I'll need that BigEdit program or whatever it is called.

Thanks.

Does anyone know a tool that will work with minimal setup? SpookyRAT dosen't work on Vista it seems because an error always comes up when I am trying to register the .ocx and .dll files.

WinBig works well (google it). I haven't tried it on Vista, but I think it'll work.

Or try seaching for something called "BigViewer".
WinBig requires registration of some DLLs, but that should happen automatically when using the installer.

winbig is a bitch to find on google due to gambling sites I think its on www.b5mods.com along with big viewer 3

It is a Vista problem. After using my friend's PC at the Thanksgiving party, it worked perfectly. He had XP. The problem on Vista was that the files could not be registered, probably a UAC thing...

The mod was easy, simply extract all the files that dealt with GWell and Cloak Gen and put them into a r1 and r2 folder and change the time values and I'm done

Ah, UAC, first thing I turned off when I got Vista.
